Blizzard Without Morehouse For Trip

The New England Blizzard will be without reserve center Monique Morehouse on their final Western swing of the season, which begins tonight at 9 against Western Conference leader Colorado in Denver.

Morehouse missed the past two games and could be out another two weeks after dislocating her left index finger in practice last Thursday. With Morehouse out, guard Tracy Lis will remain on the active roster.

The Blizzard (8-16), who are trying to catch second-place Richmond (14-14) for the final playoff spot in the East, play at Seattle Friday and San Jose Sunday. Colorado (17-10), San Jose (12-11) and Seattle (10-13) are the leading contenders for the two playoff spots in the West.

The Blizzard's next home game is Jan. 16 in Springfield against East leader Columbus (21-3). . . .Guard Latina Davis, who played seven games with the Blizzard under a 21-day contract earlier in the season, signed with the Atlanta Glory.
